So after having Canon printers from way back in 2003 for a few years and getting excellent results and pictures (using the Canon high gloss photo paper back then) i switched to Epson when it died a few years ago. The Epson WF 4730 and most recently when that died the WF4740 (which also just died) I decided to go back to Canon again. I REALLY like the Megatank system. This printer has a pretty small footprint too as far as it's size compared to the Epson we just replaced. It seems like it will be a lot more efficient on ink and the replacement bottles are really reasonable (on Amazon colors are only $11/each and slightly more for the black ink which is a larger bottle). The text prints fast and the colors are spot on. Haven't tried pictures yet but will update my review when I do try printing them. The only gripe I have with this printer are a couple of things. First, the LCD screen is small and doesn't light up making it basically useless. But, I have learned after having a few printers over the years I never use the bloatware by the printer company anymore. I use the print application on my Imac or Windows computer. Much faster to access and works better with less headaches. And, second, the operating panel which folds out HAS to be open when printing. This is good and bad at the same time. Annoying if you are in another room and want to print and forget to fold out the panel first (panel can be left forward position to print always or just pop it out when you want to print something. The good thing about the panel having to be open is if I leave the printer cover on the printer and someone wants to print from another room (and they haven't opened the control panel first) the printer won't print and jam up papers because the printer cover is on. Scanning so far works great on this All In One. Haven't tried faxing yet and basically....who needs to fax anymore anyway. I scan and email any document. I can tell you even though Epson has their own tank version of printers (Ecotank) I am done with Epson for awhile. Best thing about Epson was the speed of print....that was it as far as superiority. The Canon so far has been a great machine. By the way, using the computer to print rather than the bloatware supplied by either Canon or Epson is not only fast to use but a lot easier when setting the printer up. So, after only owning this printer for less than 2 weeks (but we have used it quite a bit as my wife and I are both working at home during the Coronavirus quarantine) I can say that I would highly recommend this AIO to anyone looking for a great, fast and do all printer that is efficient on ink as well. I used to HATE running out and having to run to Office Depot or ordering online for ink only to have to spend about $38 for a small color ink cartridge for the Epson. The whole kit of 3 colors with black was about $125...crazy expensive. This computer comes with 3 colored ink bottles (enough to fill each of the 3 colors once) and 3 slightly larger black bottles (one fills it up and 2 extra bottles are included). I read all the reviews on Consumer Reports online as I subscribe and a lot of them pointed to the lower priced models by Brother or HP. The problem with the Brother printer they recommend (while easy on using the ink) was that the reviews stated that color printed papers came out very dull and light on color. Thus the "efficiency" of using ink on a Brother. Not like that with this Canon at all. Colors are superb on regular bright white paper. You definitely get what you pay for here. A top of the line refillable tank AIO printer that does everything very well....including saving money on ink (and the convenience of storing extra bottles to refill when needed). Spend a little more now on a great Canon G7020 but save in the long run. Hope this helps anyone who is on the fence about which printer to buy. I know even with having the Consumer Reports information online to view I spent a few hours doing research on the all around best printer. Oh, and also the print heads (2...one for colors and one for B&W) pop in easy when setting up and that means replacing if ever needed should be easy. Hopefully I won't have to for a very long time though. Just buy this printer.....I can't imagine you'll regret it. I also purchased a NON Canon product that I would recommend as well. The semi-clear printer cover by Comp Bind is great. Made for this printer it keeps dust and anything else out of the printer when not in use. I truly believe using a cover extends the life of your printer too.

Update: November 2021: I purchased my Canon G6020 Mega-Tank printer in January 2020 and just replaced the magenta ink. This is the first time I’ve had to add ANY ink. That’s 20 months of cranking out hundreds of photos and a goodly number of very long documents. The black tank still registers about half full and the blue and yellow tanks still have ink in them. This printer, which cost $259.00, came with three large bottles of black ink which should last several years. I purchased an additional three bottles of blue, magenta and yellow ink for $70 to have them handy. Before I bought this printer I used cartridges that lasted 3 or 4 months and cost around $60.00. My Mega-Tank printer has been super dependable and saves me lots of $$$. And photos look wonderful.
Update April 2021: I can't run this printer out of ink. It's over a year old and I have filled up a 350 5x7" photo album (plus some additional ones I sent out for Christmas) and it's still half full of ink. I set it up in our guest bedroom and print to it from my office, our iPhones, and an iPad with no problem at all. I have printed out long documents, forms, photos, you name it, and it prints everything wonderfully. I'm sold on the mega-tank printers and will never go back to expensive and short-lived cartridges.
Update June 2020 : I have now had the G6020 for several months. I've printed a variety of documents (black and white, color, and duplex) using 24-pound paper, which I prefer. I have had no paper jams and the copies are excellent. I have printed photos using Canon Paper Plus Glossy II which have been very impressive (see photo). Even old color photos from the 1960's look fresh and new. I have had no problem maintaining a Wi-Fi connection and am very satisfied with my purchase. It has been a solid performer and I highly recommend.
Original Review: I purchased the G6020 in January 2020 specifically because I was tired of replacing expensive cartridges far too often. I have high hopes that the new tank technology will be successful and I'll have to add my comments about that as time goes by. My experience with setting up this printer was assisted by watching a YouTube video before starting. Everything went smoothly except for one thing. I had to run the setup program twice for each of the four computers I installed it on. For some reason on the first try it would stall. On the second try, it properly asked for my Wi-Fi password and installed just fine. The first try did not ask for my Wi-Fi password. My print jobs have been adequate, but a bit light from time to time. I have bought some higher quality (bright 24 pound) paper which I have as yet not used in hopes that I will see better quality. I have printed a couple of 4x6 photos with good results. More to come.
